And better conceptual docs because it's supposed to be that elements are complete deserializable objects. Having to resort to xpath as the default way of poking at XML where JSON has a good implicit default schema made XML feel so clunky.

At least xml has xpath ;-) the implicit Jason to object mapping has failed me on character encoding (no way to specify that in json). Stupid type errors (date/large numbers).
